“Very Impressed”

This was my first time at Idle awhile, I have to admit that I was somewhat spectacle because it was not all inclusive and I was traveling alone. Ive stayed at other Large All Inclusive resorts before and wanted something a lilttle more personal. Well Idle Awhile was everything I couldve asked for. Security is always present at the resort. Location was great , its right on the beach, my room was litterally steps away from the beach every morning, I was able to walk to other places on the island to eat local foods and it was very inexpensive. The staff was very friendly , and I met some great people during my stay at the resort. I just loved it. You have access to everything right there on the beach, jet ski, snorkling, glass bottom boat rides, Margaritaville its just a short walk away.. Next Time I come back to Negril this is definetly where I will be staying.

“Best in Negril”

We enjoyed our stay at Idle. The deluxe room was large and nice with a veranda outside our room. It was very relaxing in the evening and the tree frogs added alot to the enjoyment. The resort area was emaculate unlike some of the other resorts along the beach. Beach was great with cushions for lounging which also could be used as a float in the water. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good, we should have ate there more. Coffee is always ready at the beach restaurant by 7 AM. No complaints. Ready to gho back soon.

“Couldn't have been better.”

This small, garden-lush hotel was perfectly located, wonderfully staffed, and extremely comfortable. I cannot imagine a better choice for someone seeking a quiet retreat while still within easy distance of rowdier party spots.

“Had a blast and I will be back!!!”

I LOVED this hotel!!!! Everyone was friendly, even the fellow guests. The rooms were clean, spacious, wonderful, safe, and the AC worked great lol!!! I searched and read a lot of reviews and comparisons on various hotels before choosing Idle Awhile, the price was right and the rooms looked like they did on the web site. The area on the beach was lovely and spent a lot of time on the beach just relaxing. Chill Awhile was a nice added touch. Being on the beach and sipping a drink and reading a book and relaxing is sooo wonderful. Not too many of the locals bothered pushing you to buy there items, but some guests, myself included called out buy some things. Jamaican patties are delicious lol! If your looking the a nice, affordable vacation...look no further. I highly recommend this hotel you will NOT be disappointed. I could say more wonderful things about my stay, but you should expirience it for yourself becuase I had an awesome time and will be going back in the near future!!! :D

“Jamaica's best kept secret”

Idle A While is by far one of Jamaica's best kept secrets. I was made to feel at home from the moment I arrived to the the moment I left. All the staff go above and beyond to provide excellent service and make sure you have the best possible vacation. 24 hour security provided a safe environment, the waiting staff always had a smile and a drink ready after a long swim, and the room was always kept clean by the housekeeping staff. The garden room was spacious and very comfortable. I will be back to Idle and Chill A While in the very near future.

“Beautiful”

This hotel is beautiful. It's small and intimate, despite being in the middle of the main beach. The rooms are very nice. For the price, it was very nice. Definitely will return!

“Great Experience”

going to Negril was definitely a treat! compared to the larger resorts, Idle Awhile has a small entry way which scared my sister. once on property, it is a gem. It is more like a boutique hotel in every sense and is very intimate with a limited number of rooms. they do allow kids so quite a few people had small toddlers. the walls and ventilation leave it so that you can hear nature and children. the restaurant had great food which was reasonably priced-- unlike an experience we had in MoBay. the rooms and bathroom were cleaned to the T! there was also a nice patio to enjoy drinks, food, music, etc. right off our room. Also, I wouldn't recommend getting a rental car; taxis are fine and relatively cheap. you can shuttle in from MoBay or call the hotel to make arrangements.

“Awsome Hotel, but not for everyone`”

The Idle Awhile was a beautiful hotel, with awsome, attentive staff. The room, surroundings and hotel grounds were peaceful & beautiful. The place isn't for everyone though. If you are looking for the party scene, this is not it. It's a small intimate hotel for those that are looking to relax and just chill. Their restaurant is aptly named Chill Awhile. And that is exactly what we did. Our 2 boys ages 17 & 21 loved the place as well. Those with younger children may not find enough activities. The rooms were clean and spacious the veranda was an awsome place to hang out to escape from the sun for a while. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The food was good, prices were very similar at the other places that we visited, ended up eating most meals right there. Don't let the talk of pushy beach vendors scare you away. The vendors are just trying to make a living. We bought some food that was very good. If you are not interested just say no, they will leave and if they don't the hotel staff was there immediately. Only downside, and I mean only as there was nothing else to complain about, is that the beds are really, really firm. If you're not used to that, you will have sore back. Can't get back there soon enough!

“Excellent hotel”

We stayed at Idle Awhile for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Location is perfect, staff are very friendly and rooms are great. If we ever make it back we would definately stay there again. Only problem is for light sleepers as crickets churp quite loudly, otherwise you should not hesitate.
